Overall Opinion
The series is filled with disappointments despite a cute story. The characters lacked potential and were void of emotions. The pace of the film is swift as compared to the original novel’s story, which made it difficult for the audience to get connected with it. The series leaves the viewers with many unanswered questions as circumstances occurred out of nowhere. The series lacked other vital things, like the chemistry between the characters, character development, deep music, etc.
